“LOVE PRAYER” 25 March 2003

I offer a prayer
To the god of love
For you do not care
Or feel enough
I sing a cold and lonely song
A broken tune and
The words are wrong
There’s no faith now
You have gone
I couldn’t even
make you come
but I hope and pray
that all of this does not
come undone

My love
What shall I sacrifice
The heart of a child
On an altar at midnight?
Is that what it takes to keep your love?
For if it is, your love you can keep
For it is cold and worthless shit
My love prayer I abandon
Lead you to the kingdom of the vain -
You will not steal my name.
